Multi-criteria Model for Environmental Impact Assessment of Asphalt Road; Case study: East of Hamadan Belt Road

Document Type : Scientific - Research

Abstract

Environmental impact assessment is a tool to ensure proper and correct implementation of a project and how it can determine, predict and interpret the effects of a proposed project on the environment. In environmental impact assessment process, the human judgments in decision making and in relation to selection type of land use, or measure the impact of development on the environment has been effective. In many cases it is necessary that the assessor with assessing the costs and benefits of different project alternatives, chooses the best alternative among competing ones. In this project environmental impact assessment was done, using Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix method, TOPSIS and ANP methods that are both methods of Multiple Criteria Decision Making. Process has been done, including: Screening, Scoping, The consideration of alternatives, Base line studies, Impact analysis, the impact assessment with three methods was mention above, Reporting. In the screening stage using positive lists (lists of covered projects), it became clear that the project is to assess requires. Then, with field work, study area boundaries and the routes that has capable for constructing belt were determined. At this stage, two routes for road construction were introduced. Then the existing status of environmental factors was evaluated and use of experts and interests, environmental impacts were predicted, after that, the factors that were affected by construction belt were identified and as a criterion in environmental impact assessment were selected. Then using Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix method, TOPSIS and ANP, environmental impact assessment was carried out separately. All three methods the alternative "A" was introduced as an appropriate route for road construction. But the ANP method for creation of a network, capability in modeling the interrelationships between the criteria and alternatives at the levels and different aspect, is an appropriate multi criteria method for environmental impacts assessment of various projects which was introduced.
